Close combat is so perilous; even someone as highly intuitive and exceptionally talented as Tie Dan, a veteran of killing formations, cannot guarantee every move is successful without any damage.
The last move just now was truly thrilling. With no sword or Qi in his hand, and the old eunuch going all out in a desperate fight, there was no way to withstand this palm attack. If not handled properly, he'd be seriously injured, reduced to a prisoner.
So Tie Dan didn't care about his demeanor, rolling and flipping awkwardly to narrowly escape the reach of the hand wind. As for his reverse hand poke, it was just a spontaneous reaction upon seeing a flaw, just a random stab, not some kind of miraculous feat.
But who could have guessed it would cause an explosion...
That's not right... Without a sword or Qi, how could a poke cause an explosion? What kind of principle is this...
